The Mappyist Hour - Auld Lang Syne

In the final episode of 2018, The Mappiest Hour hosts Tee and Silas reflect on a year of geeking out with the geospatial community. The duo looks back on their favorite moments, from launching the podcast with nervous energy to interviewing industry heavyweights and discovering that yes, GIS can actually be funny. They muse on the evolution of the field, debating whether the term "GIS" is fading in favor of "spatial data science," and celebrate the democratization of mapping tools that allow anyone to tell a spatial story. With candid discussions about career pivots, the imposter syndrome that plagues us all, and their resolutions for the new year (spoiler: meet more listeners in person), this episode is a heartfelt thank you to the community that made The Mappiest Hour a reality. Tune in for a nostalgic look back and an optimistic look forward to a 2019 filled with even more maps, tech, and terrible puns.
